As Cardinals are traditionally red and black, the paper chosen should be red on one side and black on the other. Most types of paper can be used to fold this model. Both of these are available from Origami Shop. Diagrams for this origami cardinal model are available in Roman Diaz’s book Origami Essence – a companion to his book Origami for Interpreters. For my review of what goes on at a BOS Convention, check out my review of the BOS 2015 Autumn Convention. I was taught to fold this at a British Origami Society Convention some years ago. There is no need for extensive final shaping and finishing with this design – the folding sequence alone produces a good result. Roman Diaz’s origami cardinal takes between half an hour and forty-five minutes to fold. It is an intermediate level fold, with no particularly difficult steps, although accurate folding is required – you do need to be quite precise when folding to get a good quality model in the end. It is quite a striking design, with simple, strong lines. I really like this origami cardinal model. I used this model as an avatar on both my Instagram and Twitter accounts. The model I have chosen to feature for Day 13 of World Origami Days 2015 is the North American Cardinal by Roman Diaz.
